Q53 / 180 · NEET 2014 · Chemistry

1.0 g of magnesium is burnt with 0.56 g O2 in a closed vessel. Which reaction is left in excess and how much? (At, wt. Mg=24;  O=16)

  • Correct answer
    A
    Mg, 0.16 g
  • B
    O2, 0.16 g
  • C
    Mg, 0.44 g
  • D
    O2, O.28 g

Solution

Mg+12O2→MgO
1.024    0.5632
0.512    0.074
Oxygen is limiting reagent so 0.074-x2=0
x=0.072
excess Mg=0.512-0.072 mole
mass of Mg is =1-0.7×12=0.16 gram.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
